‘Stop being paranoid about being energy dependent’

Interview: Noé van Hulst, International Energy Forum

The IEF has made a major effort to improve transparency of global oil market data, and is now trying to do the same for gas data and investments in oil and gas production. ‘Our main challenge now is to translate words into action’, says Secretary General Noé van Hulst.
